Introducing Children to Meditation

Children should be taught to meditate at an early age – say 10 years of age. An inclination to meditate must be induced at early age.

Children should be taught to meditate for at least 1 hour a week when they are 10 years of age. As they turn 14 years of age, they must be induced to meditate 3-5 hours a week..

Once children start meditating 1hour a week at age of 10, they surely will gain sufficient maturity to meditate for longer hours as they grow older. Hopefully they may even meditate for 20-30 hours a week, by the time they turn to age of 20-25.

It is also important to inculcate morality when they are between the ages of 14 – 18. It is best that children are masters of meditation.

Children should be encouraged to read this book once every 3 months in first 5 years and once every 6 months in next 5 years.

And even meditation should not be compulsory after age of 18. Parents should only ensure that children meditate between age of 10 and 18. And inculcate morality between age of 14 and 18. Of course all this does not mean that parents should not raise children in religions they are born into.

Introducing children to meditation is not same thing as making Meditation compulsory for children.
